I had to add to/reposition some things on my handlebars so I could get more on them and after putting things back together I get no throttle. I tried the throttle just before I did this and all was well. when I moved the thumb throttle to put it on the other side, I tried to do it without disconnecting the wire, and they pulled loose, but that should not have been a problem, there was no power to u=it unless it retained a little juice.
I just now got through putting a new controller on it even though it made no sense at all it needed one, and the same problem. Very odd. I got a bit of a bumb, just slight, as it was trying to spin the wheel so I figured since I wanted the 1500w controller on there anyway (holds out better than the 1000W), I'd just put in on and if any wiring was messed up, I'd find it in the process, bit no such luck.
It's a simple thumb throttle, no indicator lights just throttle, and for some reason, don't recall why, of the three wires that the throttle has, a red, green, and black, I had the red and green soldered together. IOW the green and red are the same terminal now and then the black for two connections. I have a red blue and black coming from the controller. It was running fine with that configuration
First question, can I bypass the throttle and test it by just putting the wires together?
Second, if so, what wires of the red, blue and black from the controller do I connect to that 3 wires turned to two wire connection coming out of the throttle? the one mentioned?
Or better yet does someone just have an idea of what's up here? Maybe experienced something like this before?
Also, those may not b-be the best questions to ask so if you think I need to dump those and go another route, I'm definitely listening.
I honestly doubt it's the hub motor, as they have always proven pretty tough, and there isn't much to the physical throttle to go out. Then moving to the obvious of the controllers that do tend to go out, but I've tried two of those, the second new, and there was no real reason to believe the first one ever went out. Thanks for any help.
